Oh yeah the podcast went up on the feed last night, just havent finished the official post on the EG web site

Good show! Whoever sent Steve that distracting message in the beginning is probably really awesome and hilarious.

Hahahaha. Also, were you the one that told me about AE?

Alter Ego? I don't think so...

If you guys do Wrath of the Black Manta, I would play it. That game was awesome.

More chances to win. The devs caught wind of this and decided to throw in a few Steam copies! Yay.

Great podcast Steve n Phil! I'm going to check out Wizorb and write up some thoughts about it.

Thanks Greg. Try your hand at winning it first!

Installing now. TIP. Don't get antsy and try and rename the extraction file to Wizorb. -_- Let that stuff extract first.

If you're running Windows 7, make sure you have this installed before you try playing Wizorb.

You should try this rad program called Steam.

Bro I got Steam. I'm all about Steam. Except for paying for things from Steam.
Download that Microsoft update if you don't plan on paying for this game.

I am not so low as to pirate a $3 indie game! Shame!

Well I don't have a credit card attached to my Steam account right now so this is the only way I was gonna play it anyways. The important part is it's getting played and enjoyed. I might sound like a cheap dick but at least it's the truth.

You're actually enjoying it?

Yeah I am, which is surprising me since this is my LEAST favorite type of game (pinball bouncing type stuff).

Weird, I actually like block breaking games, but I thought Wizorb was really boring.

Well I got as far as I'm going to go. I got to the boss in World 5 and he killed me so many times I ran out of continues. But World 5 in general was really frustrating and not fun at all.
Final thoughts; I only kept playing this game so I could give a decent review, what really kept me going was the Link to the Past feel the game had to its music and art design. The difficulty level change from world 4 to 5 is ridiculous, some of the design in world 5 was frustratingly counter-productive (gems that needed to become the same color before they'd disappear were put in poorly chosen places) and the skeletons were quite glitchy when they chose what to block, which was almost everything, they'd block even from behind. If I could go back in time I would stop at the end of world 3 and pat myself on the back because that was the last time I had any fun. I'm also glad I didn't buy this because I would've felt robbed by world 5. Redo 16 levels of bullshit design to refight the impossible boss? No thanks. Will I ever touch this game again? No. Did I have fun? Yes up til the end of world 3. The game felt like a chore afterwards.
